does this camera take good indoor pictures. Specifically in an indoor arena. Or are they dark even if the venue is lite up.

It does pretty well, I was on vacation eating dinner on the patio and across the water the lights were shining on the town and it came out ok.

Dear Sir, really I didn't check it enough yet, but any way the non professional cam is little good indoor. Have a nice photos

I don't check e-mail often and I did not realize reviewing the product would result in questions. I would say no for the arena. And if you changed the aperture it would have bad depth of field and if you change the ISO you would lose too much detail. My biggest objection is the utter frailty of the camera. They don't honor either warranty and one I believe needed a magnifying glass to "prove" I dropped my second try. Now I am trying Olympus. But reading directions is against my religion. Dersa

Yes, the pictures it takes are great, provided there is enough light. If you purchase I would advise buying an extra higher capacity battery. The battery it comes with won't last longer than 2 hours. Otherwise it is a good, inexpensive video camera. I would recommend it.

Mr.V, if you can't get good pictures indoors with the A630, please have the camera checked. I can get perfectly good shots by the light of a single candle. Something's not right if your camera is blurring everything indoors.

I've had ths camera about 3-4 months. It takes great close up &indoor; pics. Telephoto lens works well. Basketball game pics can get a bit blurry @ times. Comes with camera, strap, battery, charger & cable. Need to buy memory card

it will take very nice indoor and low light photos, in low light you will need to hold it steady or use a tripod as the shutter stays open for longer, it does have a flash that needs to be manually flipped up to be used, and will flash if it needs it. I have not taken any photos of indoor concerts myself, though it does take good pictures of fireworks, and things of that nature. There are settings for all kinds of different situations and can take some very clear professional looking photos. The battery life is also excellent i have taken it on trips for several days and not needed to recharge it until i got home. it will take very nice indoor and low light photos, in low light you will need to hold it steady or use a tripod as the shutter stays open for longer, it does have a flash that needs to be manually flipped up to be used, and will flash if it needs it.

i used mine this past weekend in a low light indoor situation, I wasn't happy at all with the results. I find this camera very hard to get crisp clear pictures. Not happy with my purchase, its very sensitive to blurring.

I have only used it in low light conditions at home, it takes decent pictures.

Compared to prior point & shoot camera's I had, this camera wasn't as good in low light an indoor, even with flash. I was disappointed with the quality of the pics.

They have light in gyms but it's not good light. The lights they use often cause a strange tint. UNLESS you have a camera that does manual white balance like this one does. Hopefully that feature will make everything okay.I switched my order from amazon directly to butterflyphoto through amazon. Delivery estimate is before the 1st. I am hoping to video a gymnastics performance on the 5th. Here's hoping the HD performs well.

For me, the color comes out orangey in indoor light. I have a low end DV camera (Canon ZR850) that does much better than this in low light. You can compensate a bit with some of the controls, but of course you might have missed the shot by then. Don't expect to get anything worthwhile in completely artificially lit rooms (although bright light - e.g. school gymnasium - not a problem). I also found that the camera goes in and out of focus if the room isn't lit well enough - face recognition helped a bit.

Yes, I am very happy with quality of indoor pictures. I use this camera for all my pictures.

I have not taken to much video with this camera, mainly because I would rather have a real video camera, but for a digital camera it's not that bad. I have taken one video indoors, and footage itself didnt seem to dark. There was very little light in the room, but the camera was very good with adjusting to that. But it likes to go through baterries like it's cool when you do take video.

I think it compares very well to the canon version. I was using mine in a giant cave to film rock climbing and it worked great with little to no noise. So for indoor sports where there are lights you'd be fine, plus its half the price.

I have not but if this is your main reason for the camera I would not get this one. I noticed it does not have a sports setting. Also it depends on the environment you are shooting in, bright outdoors it will probably be okay but it has a small lens and sensor so i would not want to use it indoors. Also distance is important...closer the better.

Haven't tried using in a gym setting....but, indoor non-flash photos are excellent. Surprising light gathering abilities of camera make these shots easy and of very good quality and moving shots necessarily show the motions.

I only used it indoors once around Christmas time & the pic's turned out looking great! The G15 is definitely a great camera & very speedy at that. Very little wait for anything from shot to shot even when I use the flash when needed. I have a friend that has the G12 which is a good camera but this G15 is by far superior. For the money, compact size, it's well worth it. More on low-light just google it & look at the 1st few links which will have examples.

I need to take rodeo team pictures of a large group of kids in a indoor arena that would be low light. Could I do this with a tamron 17-50
